Tour of Britain Women
5-8 June
There was a fear last winter that the Tour of Britain Women, then called the Women’s Tour, would be no more. Money was tight, its previous organiser had collapsed. Would the UK lose its marquee stage race? In stepped British Cycling, and together with lead sponsor Lloyds Bank, the race was revived under a new moniker. This year it returns to the calendar, again in four-day form, with storylines aplenty.
